"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I do really love toys although I don't collect many like other collectors.However I am planning to have a lot a lot of toys collection of my own characters and other toys figures as well at my own gallery in the future.

After watching Toy story 1 and 2 by Pixar Studio, I realized that toys are not only just toys, but they are our friends who always love to play with us from we were a child until now.

About one year ago, I used modeling clay to sculpt these small creatures. The sizes are below 5cm.So can be said these are my first toys I created, because usually I only drew a character or doodle, traced and colored it in computer. And probably I will use different kinds of materials such as vinyl, clay, wood, found object, paper, fabric,metal, and more to sculpt a toy for next time.

Next, introduce... Mousta

Sketch of Mousta

I collected a wood from college workshop but not quite sure what type of wood that I used. So, with help of the big cutting and sanding machines, the basic shape of Mousta was done. Then I continued with pencil outline for detail.

Among of 60 plus students, i am the only sculpture student from the entire level 1 in my college. Yes, i feel so lonely at the first time. As stranger at college, and doing all my works all alone with machines at workshop underworld basement 2 where car parks are located. There's no friend to talk about sculpture work, no ideas or materials to share. Also, I don't know if i was doing good or terrible works because this is my first time to learn sculptures and facing the big machines.

However, as the times goes by i found other friends at the workshop, talk to nice technical officers who always help me, some sculpture seniors, and product design students who come to do their perfect product works.16 weeks has been passed! The assessment was on Monday,16 November where the students had "solo exhibition" in small cubicle at the studios.
